I friend wants to speed up a shuttle nf2 400(SN-45v2), has onboard graphics and 512 of ram lol, was thinking of adding vista to it, 9600 pro, and 2gb usb mem stick think that would make the system faster using this ram stick with readdyboost and a 9600 pro instead of the onboard gpu? Or would I be waisting my time and should maybe go with the vid and 2 gig of ddr ram in it.

Basically asking if the 2gb of usb mem for $30 dollars would work with the reasyboost feature on vista? compared to a $100 for 2 gigs of ddr400. And waist the 2 x 256 as there is only 2 ram slots on this system.
